It's a getaway day matinee at Yankee Stadium as the Pittsburgh Pirates roll into the Bronx to face a New York squad that's been quietly solid at 56-44. The Yankees are heavy favorites at -171, laying a run and a half, and with the heart of that lineup at home you can see why the bookmakers like them.

The Pirates at 52-49 aren't a pushover, but if their starter doesn't work deep into this one and the bullpen has to bridge too much ground, this could get out of hand early. Bold prediction: Yankees put this away by the sixth and never let Pittsburgh sniff a walk-off scenario.
